National Union for Democracy and Progress of Cameroon

The National Union for Democracy and Progress (UNDP) is a liberal political party in Cameroon that was founded on 9 February 1991 by Maigari Bello Bouba. The party, which held right-wing views such as democratic capitalism and anti-communism, had strong support in the north of the country, and the party sought to represent the legacy of the ousted President Ahmadou Ahidjo (who was overthrown by CPDM leader Paul Biya in a 1982 coup d'etat). Due to the low political freedom in Cameroon, the UNDP was unable to pose a serious threat to the ruling CPDM in elections, both local and national.
